test 2 Flashcards
Blood to systemic arteries
aorta
Muscular wall of the heart
myocardium
Carries blood from coronary veins to right atrium
coronary sinus
Depression in the intraarterial septum
fossa ovalis
Right arterioventricular valve
tricuspid valve
Alternate name for biscuspid valve
mitral valve
Cardiac muscle fiber connections
intercalated discs
Pericardium
Serous membrane
Inner surface of the heart
Endocardium
Semilunar valve
aortic valve
Detect changes in pressure
baroreceptors
Vasomotor center
medulla oblongata
Aided by thoracic pressure changes due to breathing
Venous return
Causes immediate local homeostatic responses
auto regulation
Decreased tissue O2 and increased CO2
Local vasodilators
Carotid bodies
Chemoreceptors
Forces water into capillary
Osmotic pressure
Opposite of smooth blood flow
Turbulence
Resistance to flow
Viscosity
Forces water out of capillary
Net hydrostatic pressure
Peripheral vasodilaion
naturletic peptides
Excess intrestitial fluid accumulation
Edema
Homeostasis disturbed
Blood pressure and volume decrease
Combined short term and long term effects
Increased Blood pressure
Increased blood volume
Homeostasis restored
Blood pressure and volume increase
Keep hazardous organisms out of the body
Physical barriers
Are cells that engulf pathogens and cell debris
Phagocytes
The destruction of abnormal cells by NK cells in peripheral tissues
Immune survaillance
Are chemical messangers that coordinate the defences against viral infections
Inferneurons
Is a system of circulating proteins that assists antibodies
Complement system
Is a localized tissue-level response that tends to limit the spread of an injury or infection
Inflammation
Is an elevation of body temperature
Fever
Nk cells sensitive to the presence of abnormal plasma membranes are primarily involved in
Immune survaillance
